Around the NHL - 2018 Stanley Cup Champions, the Washington Capitals

[Oscar Lindberg]

Bettman is the villain we need

Also cool for Ovi, not cool for the rest

 

[Machinehead]

I'd much rather see OV win than Callahan.

Nah I would have taken Girardi winning the Cup with Tampa over this.

 

[Doctor King Schultz]

They even got the 3rd string goalie in gear for this?

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

Why the hell would you think that?

Ovi win the cup before Cally...

 

[trilobyte]

Saw the Canadiens win the Stanley Cup at the Saddledome in '86. It's pretty cool (wish it was the Rangers, I would have gone ape).

 

[bl02]

This is truly surreal even moreso than the Eagles winning the superbowl. Show me who thought the Caps would win before this season started??? Or even get to ECF

 

[TheBloodyNine]

Congratulations to Ovi and the Caps.

Alright, now enough of this horse shit, let's get to the offseason.

and he was probably one of the guys that help propel this team to another level. They never looked back after he made that play , hit and pass to lead to goal number one game 7 vs tampa.
Vegas was straight up afraid of him

No doubt he was very impactful (literally) for them in these playoffs.

I don't like his consistent dangerous, illegal hitting, but there's no debating his effectiveness in helping Washington win.

Wait you were there? wow

We've been in the offseason for 92 years.

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

see matt cooke 2009

I didn't say the only example.

 

[EpicDing]

I don't know how seeing Ovi lift the cup can't put a smile on your face, guy deserves it more than anyone in the league not named Henrik Lundqvist or Joe Thornton.

Probably one of the bone crunching hits rendered Wild Bill completely rudderless for the finals. Guy was invisible

happy vegas didn't win it

Post of the night.

Thats why cause he deserves it more and the vitriol Opposing metro fans had for us in 2014 and 2015. and the satisfaction they had when we were eliminated. How can I as a die hard Rangers fan root for them.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Is it bad that the only reason I'm really upset that the Caps won is that we were on their level but never broke through? I don't really hate them. I'd take 5 Caps wins in a row over 1 Pens win.

 

[Captain Lindy]

Congratulations to Ovi and the Caps.

Alright, now enough of this horse ****, let's get to the offseason.

My thoughts exactly.

 

[Machinehead]

I am happy for Ovechkin.

Extremely likeable player on the most unlikable team.

 

[Captain Lindy]

Anybody but the Islanders or Devils.

 

[bl02]

Anybody but the Islanders or Devils.

and flyers a distant third. Problem is unless the flyers mess things up they are on a path to be a very serious contender in near future. Sucks

 

[trilobyte]

Karlsson kind of receded but the Knights had the tables turned a bit on them in the final round. I never f***ing ever thought the Capitals could do this.
This is like a paradigm shift.

I do hate them, but yeah that's a huge part of it. They got it done and we couldn't. Huge slap in the face.

I'm at the point right now where if this league died tomorrow, I would smile.

You can't, and should be annoyed.
